This may be named Celeriac Potato Mash, but we all can see the true star of the show - that loaf of bread! No, I did not send Aidan off to school with the entire thing (of course, I did send him with a pumpkin once, so anything is possible), just a couple of slices wrapped in the napkin. Sorry, I digress. . .
Organic potato and celeriac (celery root) mash (like mashed potatoes, but lighter and with a more crisp, fresh flavor - - simmer the celeriac in a little bit of butter and water, mash with potatoes - -I use a ricer - - add some warm milk to desired consistency and a splash of rice vinegar to enhance the flavor); pan fried tofu chunks; and organic homemade whole wheat bread.
By the way, the celeriac root, should you happen to come upon one, is a bit scary looking, like the rejected part of a prehistoric plant after having been lunched upon by a starving brontosaurus. It is a bit grayish with tiny slender celery stalks shooting off of it's gnarled and amputated limbs. However, once you peel back it's rough exterior, you will find a white crisp vegetable, looking much like peeled jicama. I was afraid of the one that appeared in my CSA box until I consulted with Alice Waters (via her cookbooks, of course). Now I've cooked it and munched on it raw with dip and I am no longer afraid.
waste generated: none :)
